Hi , When I open the Exchange management console it says that my edge transport server is running in evaluation mode. But we added the product key few days ago. pls advic! regards.

Did you restart the Information store service after entering product key? Also Edge server requires to enter product key before setting up EdgeSubscription... <You must enter the product key prior to subscribing the Edge Transport server.You must enter the product key prior to subscribing the Edge Transport server.> -http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997438.aspx Similar thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrgeneral/thread/e252bc96-1417-4165-8ca4-b025d823396d Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

HI, Per my knowledge that one happens you had add product key after edge subscription runs. So management console running (Except Edge) pops up and mention server is running on evaluation mode. To correct this rerun edge subscription process as below.Procedure 1) Remove Existing Subscription on Hub Remove-EdgeSubscription -Identity EdgeServerName -DomainController dc.domain.com2) create new subscription on Edge New-EdgeSubscription -FileName "c:\EdgeServerSubscription.xml"3) Then import XML file generated by Edge server in to hub server Resources Exchange Management Console Reports that Edge Transport Server is Running in Evaluation ModeRegardsChinthaka

HI,Glade to hear that :)RegardsChinthaka
